Manny Pacquiao v Amir Khan - 23/4/17

[Fenster]

Whenever you see a fight linked to those regions you know it's bollocks.

Bob Arum - "If the $38 million is real, it trumps the Australia deal. If it's real, we will assist putting on the event, but I am not holding my breath and I'm not making plane reservations. If the $38 million comes up, the fight will take place and we'll all be happy. And if it doesn't, there will be one guy who won't be surprised."

I'm done with Khan, couldn't care less about him anymore, but it would be interesting to see him prove how he used to duff Pac up in sparring.

I've gone from a Khan fan into now not really liking the guy, i had loads of respect for him after he got smashed by Prescott then went on to win titles over in the US beating some seriously tough fighters in the process.

Pricing himself (purposely) out of the Brook fight was the final straw, that was on a plate for him and a Massive payday even at a fair 50-50.

Khan didn't want any part of facing Brook - simple as.

So what's the deal with this being in Dubai (UAE) i've read Dubai and Abu Dhabi have both (allegedly) agreed to stump up the money which is pocket change to them.

Weird U-Turn though because when i lived in Dubai i rushed down to the hotel bar to watch the Haye v Chisora fight and the doorman told me they weren't allowed to show it because it "encouraged violence"

Had to watch it on my phone on a shitty blurry youtube video the next day.

Every six months or a year somebody in Dubai or one of the Gulf States threatens to put up tens of millions for a big fight and it never happens. They were going to outbid Vegas for Mayweather Manny at one point.

I think Khan might have slipped further than Manny has if they ever get in a ring. I think Manny would win anyway but I don't really want to see either of them fight again. I don't even want to see Khan get battered by Brook.
